Open VKontakte dialogues. VKontakte messages

Good afternoon everyone. In this article, we will talk about one of the main functions of the VKontakte social network - sending messages to other users. And also at the same time we will learn about some of the nuances associated with sending messages, find out what features and functionality they have, figure out how to manage correspondence and much more.

VKontakte messages are quite powerful tool. Let's find out about everything in order ...

Vkontakte messages. What, how and why?

Message alert. New messages on VKontakte

When a message arrives from another user, the site notifies you about it. There are several types:

instant notification on the site;
SMS notification to your phone number;
email notification;

The second and third types of alerts work when you have set the appropriate settings in the “Notifications” section. Instant notification on the site is configured by default. When someone writes to you, the number “1” appears opposite the “Messages” item in the main menu of the page.

How to find out the number of new messages on VKontakte? Everything is very simple. On the home page you can see what number is in the main menu opposite the “Messages” item. If, for example, the number 3 is there, then this means that three people wrote to you.

It should be remembered that on the main page this counter indicates exactly the number of people who wrote to you (and each of them could write more than one message). If 4 people have written 6 messages to you, then the number “4” will be displayed here, not “24”! And when we go to the dialogue section, you can see how many messages a particular person wrote.

Sending text messages and send settings

There are three ways to send text messages on the site:

through the “Messages” menu item (through the “VKontakte” dialogs);
from the page of the user you want to write to;
via quick chat;

1. Let's look at the first option - communication through the VKontakte dialog page. This is the most common and most convenient way of correspondence. From the main menu, select item “Messages”, after which you get to the page with a list of dialogs. Here you can select any interlocutor with whom you have already communicated or use the search in the list of dialogues.

I would like to note such a moment. Until you write text in the input field, the voice message input button is available (microphone icon to the right of the field). As soon as you start typing, the send voice message button changes to a normal send button. This means that you can send either this or this message (you cannot send a combined text and voice message). About how to send voice messages will be discussed in the next article.

As mentioned above, you can send a message with the "Enter" key. But we remember that usually this key in text editor lines are wrapped. “VKontakte” line break is carried out by pressing the key combinations “Shift + Enter”. If you are not satisfied with this option, then there is another one. In the second case, the line break is carried out by the "Enter" key, and sending - by the "Ctrl + Enter" key combination. To select this option, you need to move the mouse cursor over the “Submit” button and in the window that opens, check the box next to the second option.

2. Second shipping option from user page. To do this, we search among friends (or through the search) for the right person and go to his page. Under the avatar, click on “Write a message” and start a dialogue with a new interlocutor.

3. And the third sending option is through a quick chat. If you look in the lower right corner of your screen, you will see a small window there with the number of users and a thumbnail of the avatar of one of your friends. This is the quick chat window. The counter displays the number of friends online. If you click on the box, a list of dialogs will open. Correspondence can be conducted directly from here - choose desired interlocutor and start chatting.

At the same time, messages sent via quick chat are also displayed in the list of dialogs on the “Messages” page. You can close the chat at any time and go to the usual dialogue with the interlocutor, while the history of correspondence will be saved.

How to know if the interlocutor has read the message?

To find out whether the interlocutor has read your message or not, just look at its color in the correspondence. Unread items are highlighted in light blue, and after reading, the background turns white, like the background of the rest of the correspondence.

It often happens that VKontakte shows unread messages, but there are none. This is a site glitch (and this happens too). You should refresh the page, and sometimes clear the browser cache. As a rule, after that the counter is reset to zero. Often such a jamb happens in mobile version"VC". As a rule, in this case, you have to close and reopen the application. But sometimes this does not help, and you have to restart the phone. Apparently, such a glitch appears on weaker phone models.

How to find out, being in the list of dialogues, whether the interlocutor has read your messages or not? Your unread messages are always on top and are not light, but slightly bluish. In addition, there is a counter next to them. unread messages, representing their number.

Attachments to VKontakte messages

The possibilities of correspondence would be severely limited if it were not possible to attach media files and other documents to your text messages. But the creators social network everything has been thought out and provided for, so you can not only communicate with friends, but also exchange photos and videos, attach music, documents and even transfer money in dialogues.

Photos, videos, music

Let's look at all possible attachments to messages. Since the most common and frequently used attachment is a photo, attaching photos implemented with a separate button. It looks like a camera icon at the end of the text field.

Moreover, this function implements the attachment of a photo only with hard drive computer. If you want to attach a photo from a personal photo album, select the first item in the attachment menu.

In the window that opens, you can:

select a photo from the photo album;
upload a photo from a computer through the “Upload photo” tab;
take a picture from the installed webcam through the “Take a picture” tab;

Similarly, you can attach a video to the correspondence. We select the second item in the attachment menu “Video Recording”, and in the window that opens, you can either select a video from the list of your videos, or use the search for all videos in the social network database. Music is attached in the same way - either from your own list of records, or through a global search in the VKontakte music database.

Attachment of documents

You can attach any document to the correspondence - for example, an estimate in Excel format or Text Document, PDF file etc. For this there is an attachment “Document”. Select it and download the required file from the computer.

It is worth remembering that VKontakte cannot attach execution files or scripts - with the extension .exe, .apk or .js. Thus, the site limits the spread of pirated programs and viruses. Moreover, these files are recognized even when they are archived.

If you have already sent any files, then they are automatically saved in “Documents”. If you decide to send them again to someone, then you just need to select them from the list of documents that opens with the “Documents” attachment type.

Card attachment

You can attach a map to any message, where you can mark a point or place. This is also done through the attachments menu. Select the item “Map”, and open a window with a world map. There are not many settings here - you can change the scale, change the type of map (scheme, satellite or hybrid), or use the map search. In addition, there is a marker on the map that can be moved anywhere, thereby designating an object or location, which can then be sent to the interlocutor.

As a rule, it is always more convenient to use the search on the map. For example, I need to mark the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin. I drive in “Nizhny Novgorod” in the search, then I move the mark to the Kremlin - and you can send the map by clicking on the “Attach location” button.

Gifts and money transfer

Through VK messages, you can also send gifts to friends or transfer money to them. We will talk about how to send a gift to a friend or, in the relevant articles.

Attaching emoticons

Emoticons are needed in order to express emotions that cannot be conveyed in text message. To attach a smiley, you need to hover over the icon with a face after the text field.

Then, in the drop-down list, select the desired emoticon or use the scroll bar and select the desired symbol from several sets that the social network has. Those emoticons that you use regularly in messages are displayed at the top in the "Frequently Used" section.

Actions with messages

Why can't I send a message to the user?

It's all about privacy settings. Most likely, the person you are trying to write to has put in that only friends can write to him. If you are not a friend of this person, then the function of sending a message will not be available to you. Some thus limit themselves from all kinds of spam and left-wing correspondence so that they are not disturbed by strangers.

In order to write to this person, you will have to send him a request to add you as a friend. Only after he confirms that you are his friend, you will be able to write to him.

Also, a person could blacklist you. In this case, you will also not be able to write to him. (For more details on why it is not possible to write to the user, see )

By the way, you can make the same settings at home if you do not want to be disturbed by strangers.

How to edit a VKontakte message

To the great joy of users of the social network, it appeared not so long ago. You can make changes within 24 hours after sending it. If you hover your mouse over it, a check mark will appear on the left, and a pencil icon will appear on the right. All that is needed for editing is to click on it, and editing becomes available.

In the window that opens, you can change the text part, as well as add new attachments or emoticons. After editing is complete, click on the checkmark icon. If you change your mind about making edits, then you can quickly close the editing window with a cross.

Deleting individual messages

How to delete a message "VKontakte"? Sometimes you need to “remove” some part of the correspondence from the dialogue. If you hover over any message, a checkmark appears on the left. If you activate it, an action bar with a dialog appears on top. Select the trash can icon and click on it. A window will open where we will be asked to confirm the action (“Are you sure you want to delete the message?”) Click on the “Delete” button and get rid of the message.

Remember - deleted VKontakte messages can be restored until you refresh or reload the page. Up to this point, the restore operation will be available. After refreshing the page or closing the site, it is impossible to restore a deleted message! You also cannot undo a message that has already been sent.

Personal messages on VKontakte. How to clear chat history

You may have some personal, intimate messages that you do not want to show to anyone at all. You never know - they forgot to close the page on personal computer, or left the phone, and someone (parents, friends, wife / husband) took and read the correspondence. In these cases, clearing the history of correspondence will help you, since it removes not only all messages, but also the dialogue itself from the list of dialogues.

To delete a conversation, go to the dialog menu (the icon with three dots) and select the “Clear chat history” item. After that, you will be asked again if you really want to clear the history and will be warned to cancel this action will be impossible. To complete the action, click the "Delete" button.

As we wrote above, it is impossible to undo this action! So think carefully before deleting your chat history.

How to forward a message

In order to forward a message, you need to select it (same as with the delete action). After that, two buttons “Reply” and “Forward” will become available above the dialog. The difference between them is that the first one works only in this dialog (you seem to be quoting the message of the interlocutor, as in a forum), while using the “Forward” button you can forward any message from one dialog to another.

Next, go to the general list of dialogs and select the one where we need to forward the message. The forwarded message is now displayed as an attachment. You can also add something in the text field, attach an attachment, or add an emoticon. You can also cancel the attachment action by clicking on the cross.

A very handy feature, with its help you can quickly transfer the news or the desired attachment from one dialog to another.

Important messages VKontakte

Some messages can be marked with a special importance icon, after which they are saved to the section. Imagine you are thrown some important information. You can, of course, put it in notebook, but VK provided handy tool to store important information.

Go to any dialog and hover over the message. An asterisk icon will appear on the right with the hint “Mark as important”. Let's tag!

After that, it appears in the "Important messages" section (upper right corner of the page).

If you go to the section, then there we will see the entire list of the “importances” we have noted. Here we can unmark the importance, see the date of the message, or go to the dialog itself (arrow icon). By the way, the importance can be removed in the dialog itself, and not just in the section with marked messages.

Well, that's all for today. I wish you interesting correspondence and acquaintances!

How to restore the dialogue in "VK"? And what if you want to return individual messages on a social network? In fact, everything is easier than it seems. Even a schoolboy can cope with the tasks. The main thing is to prepare in advance for operations. V otherwise it will be almost impossible to restore correspondence in VK. We will consider the most convenient, successful and effective methods aimed at saving and restoring letters in the mentioned social network.

Is there a right?

Is it possible to restore the dialogue in "VK"? Yes, like any previously deleted message. Only not everyone knows exactly how to act in a particular case.

As practice shows, it will be problematic to bring the idea to life without preliminary preparation. To avoid difficulties with this, we will talk about how to reduce the unpleasant nuances of the operation to a minimum.

How to restore the dialogue in "VK"? Ways

How to restore the dialogue in "VK"? It all depends on the user's preferences. And from the situation faced by the user as a whole.

In general, today they offer the following methods for restoring correspondence:

through the built-in VK option;
with the help of interlocutors;
through the support service;
through a special browser extension;
using the notification system settings.

Below we describe all these techniques in more detail.

Settings

In order not to think about how you can restore the dialogue in VK after deletion, you can simply make sure that all messages are duplicated on your phone or on email. Social media alerts will help with this.

To bring the idea to life, the user will have to:

Open in browser "VK".
Log in with your username and password.
Open "Settings". They are located on the right side of the window, at the top. The corresponding menu opens after clicking on the arrow next to the reduced avatar.
Go to the "Notifications" block.
Select alert system options.
Click on "Save".

Now all correspondence will be sent to the phone or to the specified email address. Too long posts, unfortunately, are not displayed in full. Therefore, in a fully similar way to view remote correspondence will not work.

Alternative

How to restore a deleted dialogue in VK? Some believe that such an operation is carried out with the help of a social network support service. You can write in the "Help" section. And if the VK administration considers the reason for restoring the correspondence significant, it will be returned.

As practice shows, such a technique works in exceptional cases. Yes, the support service sometimes restores messages and dialogs, but this happens extremely rarely.

Extension

Some users prefer to use specialized applications for restoring social media conversations. VK is no exception. For her there Vkopt extension. It works perfectly with Google Chrome.

How to restore the dialogue in "VK"? Would need:

Install "Vkopt" on the computer and run it.
Log in to the social network.
Click in the left menu (at the very bottom) on the VkOpt item.
Set the data saving settings and confirm the operation.
Click on the date of the dialogue with the user.

The correspondence of interest to the user will appear on the screen. If the dialogue took place before the corresponding extension was installed, it will not work to bring the idea to life. Therefore, other approaches will have to be found.

Interlocutors

How to restore the dialogue in "VK"? The fact is that deleted messages will not be erased from the second interlocutor. And even in a conference, the dialogue is erased for a specific user. The rest of the participants in the correspondence see the conversation in full.

To restore the dialogue, it is enough to ask the interlocutor to completely (or partially, depending on the needs) forward the messages. Now it is extremely easy to do this, because the "Forward" option has appeared in VK.

This approach cannot be called reliable and effective. But sometimes it is this alignment that contributes to the restoration of correspondence.

Hyperlinks

We have almost fully figured out how to restore a deleted dialogue in VK. The last technique remains, which is used in practice. This is a work with the built-in recovery function. It works until the first update of the correspondence page. Then the option disappears. There's no way to get her back. It is for this reason that it is better to prepare for recovery in advance.

What to do? As soon as the dialogue (or message) is deleted, just click on the "Restore" line. All correspondence (or a specific letter) will return to the "My Messages" section. But, as we have already said, this technique works on just deleted letters.

conclusions

We figured out how to restore the dialogue in VK. To do this, it is recommended to set up the notification system in advance and install a special extension. Otherwise, the operation will cause a lot of trouble.

Sometimes users really cannot return deleted conversations to VK. This is a normal, albeit sad, occurrence. You should not believe those who offer to return dialogues for a fee. All this is deceit.

Many users of the social network VKontakte faced such a problem as lost conversations in the section "Messages". You can solve all sorts of difficulties with such dialogues by following the recommendations that we describe later in this article.

It is possible to search for discussions with many participants within the VK site in a fairly small number of ways. In addition, conversations in which you were a member, but for some reason left them, should already be assigned to your account.

If you were excluded from the dialogue, then after finding it, you will not be able to write there or return. Moreover, due to the cleanup of the content of the discussion, the earlier materials will also not be displayed.

Among other things, it is important to know that even if this kind of dialogue was deleted relatively long ago, it can still be accessed. However, keep in mind that the vast majority of dialogues for such a huge period of time simply stop developing and are abandoned by site users.

Method 1: Standard search

This section of the article is intended for those users who simply need to find a conversation among a large list of other correspondence. At the same time, it does not matter at all who you are and under what status you appear in the wanted block, be it "Excluded" or "Left".

While on a social networking site, open the page "Messages".

Now at the top active window find the field "Search".

Fill it in according to the name of the dialogue you are looking for.

Often, the names of the participants can be involved in the title of the conversation, so be careful.

An alternative approach is quite acceptable, in which the search form is filled in according to the text content of the dialog.

It is best to use unique words that occur only in the right place as occurrences.

You may have difficulty finding the same words in different dialogues, which, unfortunately, cannot be resolved.

The described list of actions is completely identical for both the standard and the new VKontakte interface.

At this point, you can complete the analysis of the standard dialogue search system in order to find a conversation.

Method 2: Address bar

To date, this is the most effective and, importantly, very complex method of finding conversations within the site of the social network in question. At the same time, if you can easily deal with the process described below, you can be sure that any conversation will be found.

The required manipulations can be performed in any modern browser, having previously authorized VK.

Please note that in this case you are given the opportunity to operate with large quantity dialogues.

In addition to the described, you can bend to the use of a combined address.

Add the following code to the address bar of your web browser.

https://vk.com/im?peers=c2_c3_c4_c5_c6_c7_c8_c9_c10&sel=c1

Specifically, in this case, in the navigation menu of open dialogs, you will be presented with discussions from the first to the tenth inclusive.

Additionally, if you were a member a large number conversations, the presented page code can be somewhat expanded.

As you can see from the example, the address is modernized by adding new numeric blocks before the final characters.

C11_c12_c13_c14_c15

If you set a number significantly higher than the previous value, then a tab with the corresponding pin ID will be opened in this place.

C15_c16_c50_c70_c99

You can start your search with far values, but you shouldn't separate the first number from the equals sign with an underscore.

im?peers=_c15_c16_c50

We do not recommend making a URL that expands more than a hundred tabs at a time. This can lead to site layout errors.

We hope that in the process of studying you managed to understand the most important points search for discussions, through the operation of the address bar of the Internet browser.

Method 3: Mobile application

Many users of the resource in question prefer to use the services of the site through the official mobile application VKontakte. It is for this reason that the issue of finding conversations while using portable gadgets becomes relevant.

In addition to the main instructions, it is important to note that when using the light version of the VKontakte website, you can take advantage of advanced dialog search options. Speaking more objectively, during the operation of the mobile version of VK through a browser, you can resort to both the first method and the second and third.

This arrangement is possible through open access profile owner address bar web browser.

Now, having dealt with literally all the possible aspects of finding dialogues in this social network, the article can be considered complete.

For people who actively communicate on the social network VKontakte, this plugin will come in handy. It allows you to pin the dialogues and conversations that are most important to you in a separate column of the messages section, from where you can access the necessary correspondence with just one click.

How to add dialogue to favorites?

To do this, follow a couple of simple steps:

Flaws

Unfortunately, the plugin has several drawbacks:

Firstly, by creating a complete list of favorite conversations and dialogues, it cannot be mixed up, which would sometimes be useful.
Secondly, since the message page does not scroll by itself, but only the inner message area scrolls, it becomes impossible to add too many conversations to the list. Since the page does not scroll, the most recent favorited conversations will simply not be visible on the screen.

One way or another, this plugin is very useful, at least for very active users In contact with. Especially if you're very famous and receive tons of messages from strangers, then pinning a couple of your most important conversations definitely doesn't hurt!

Dialogues with not all people give us pleasure to read. Of course, an unpleasant dialogue can be deleted so as not to remember it, and also so that others cannot see it. But it is not necessary to delete it, especially if the information in this dialog can be of value. Now we will look at how you can simply hide this dialog.

You will need an extension for Chrome browser, which is called AdBlock. Pay attention to what the label of this add-on looks like. The point is that there is adblock add-on Plus, which is not suitable for these purposes. You can find this application in Google search engine. Next, click on the install tab. The installation will take place instantly.

Installing the Blocker app

Then go to the Vkontakte dialog section. Next, click on the blocker icon in the upper right corner of the browser. And in the menu that appears, select "Block ads on this page."

Launching the "blocker" application

By clicking on this tab, the message "click on the object and I will help you block it" will appear. Therefore, click on the dialogue that you want to block. This dialog will be highlighted with a blue background.

After clicking on the dialog, a window will appear with the “Looks like order” tab. Click on it, and then click "block". After that, the dialog will be hidden.

Hiding the Vkontakte dialog

To return this dialog again, go to the messages section and click on the blocker application icon in the upper right corner of the browser. In the menu that appears, select "unblock this site" and the dialogs will become available again.

Restoring access to blocked conversations

You can also hide dialogs in mobile application Kate Mobile. This app has standard function Hiding dialogs, and you don't have to download add-ons. All you need is to hold your finger on the dialogue. Several functions will appear, among which there is an item "Hide dialog".

By clicking on this function, a window with a PIN will appear. Enter in this line any code under which this dialog will be listed, and click "OK". After that, the dialogue will be hidden. To view it again, there is a search icon at the top of the application. By clicking on it, a line will appear in which you need to enter the code that you set blocking the dialogue. When you enter it, a dialog will appear.
